Can anyone recommend me a waterproof car cover. Basically I have got a few bbq's to go to in the next few weeks and want to take the 7. Im just after something I can leave on the car whilst its parked up on friends driveways overnight for when the heavens open. might also use it at work but not sure if thats practical as the exhaust takes an age to cool. Weather gear is probably out the question as It hasn't a screen.
I'm dropping hints to get one of these for my birthday...

It folds up into a small package.... heard some good reviews a while back, but no personal experience.
I certainly would not recommend any of the normal car covers sold by Halfords etc as I've tried even their best outdoor ones only to find they
left the water pass right through and your car will end up soaked. Also they tend to totally disintegrate in high winds leaving behind just the tie
down string
the one on the link for the car cover i had
one for my 7. it is easy to store and quick to fit.
I've got one of these for the Fury.

Works a treat. Because it only covers the cockpit it's quick to fit, doesn't leak and packs up easy into a small bag. Not sure how well
it'd fit without the screen though.

Hi
I can honestly say that THESE HAMILTON Covers are the best by far. A
bit pricey but they are the only cover that i have found in 25 years that really is fully water proof and fully breathable. Really can't
recommend them enough. Fully fitting to a general seven shape.

I find that most covers will deteriorate from UV absorption. If you only use it occasionally then I would use one from Argos, tis the mid range one I
think its blue and seems to work ok, though i have to replace it at 6 months as the UV weakens the material and it just rips apart.
Since its only about £25 or so its not too bad.
My dad has brought good expensive ones which don't last long in the sun.
The best one he had was made especially for his sprite at lasted well. I think he only removed it cause it got a hole in it somehow. It wasn't
cheap tho, would give you the company details but they are no longer around.
I love my softbitsforsevens cover but it's pricey!! Folds up very small though...
